Article Abstract:
The Consumer Justice Center is suing QT Inc, which manufactures the Q-Ray bracelet, for false advertising. QT claims the Q-Ray bracelet pulls excess ions out of the body, which relieves pain, improves strength and increases energy. The company is marketing the bracelet through a 30-minute infomercial that has brought in more than $10 million in sales since Sep 2000. Consumer Justice Center says these claims are medically unfounded and is asking QT to stop selling the bracelets. It also wants QT to give up its profits and pay its attorney's fees.
